LASH OUT
Bizarre row breaks out after woman paints GIANT long-lashed emoji on the side of her house to ‘mock her neighbour’s lash extensions’
AN OFFENDED woman has been horrified to discover that her feuding neighbour across the road has painted a large mural on her house blatantly mocking her glamorous appearance.
Susan Wieland, from California, feels attacked by the woman occupying the home opposite, known as Kathryn Kidd, who she suspects is purposefully jibing her with the long-lashed emojis.

Susan said: “I feel like I’ve been directly attacked with my eyelash extensions. It’s definitely directed.
“I had them done here in Manhattan Beach, and they did them way too big. Now it’s painted on the house.”
The bitter feud between the two women from Manhattan Beach first started when Kathryn moved into the area and bought a two-storey flat on the same street.
According to reports, Kathryn started irritating fellow neighbours with her garish attitude and rule-breaking ways from the minute she arrived in the oceanfront destination.

She is said to have turned up on moving day in a Mercedes convertible with a license plate holder that said: ‘Move Over Princess, The Queen Has Arrived.’
Following this, she went on to make matters worse by renting out the building she had bought to short term tenants – an act which is illegal in Manhattan Beach.
Having already earned herself a handful of disgruntled neighbours, she was reported to the city council, who went on to fine the illegal landlady £3,300 ($4000) in May this year.
However in response to being grassed up, she has returned home and painted her walls bright pink and embellished them with large animated emojis donned with big false eyelashes and a zip for a mouth.

Upon seeing the hurtful mural, Susan said: “I feel like I’m being bully, frankly, by her. That word keeps coming up to me: she’s a bully, and she feels she is entitled. She just wants to make things uncomfortable for us.”
However instigator Kathryn is struggling to see the error in her ways.
She said: “Instead of everybody being so gloomy, always so depressed, always in other people’s business.
“I just wanted to send a message to be happy, be colourful, be positive and enjoy.”
Fuming – a group of residents from the road have gone to the city council to demand that the emojis be covered, however Community Development Director Anne McIntosh says there is no ban on murals, paintings, or graphics on homes.
She said: “Older communities like Manhattan Beach have a lot of eclectic architecture that were built over many hears of time… and I think the city has just never wanted to over-regulate people’s ability to have their home the way they want it.”
A city planning commission is scheduled to revisit the issue on August 28.
